Chapter 040 Speech
Lin Zimo quickly stopped the quarrel between the Chu brothers. After all, they really didn't care about the time and place. Now the soldiers are under the city, and they still have the strength to do these meaningless things, which is really enough. The two are ashamed of themselves here. It's better for them to keep their dissatisfaction to kill the enemy.
Lin Zimo knew that Wang Pengfei was old, but before leaving the south of the city, he still did not forget to remind him not to be careless. After all, a small mistake may destroy the whole Pingnan County. Wang Pengfei, who understood that it was of great importance, not only accepted it, but also used the life of the whole family to protect it in order to reassure Lin Zi.
Lin Zimo, who had done what he should have done, took a team of Chu Erlang and returned to the north of the city. He got some relevant information from Zhao Wenxuan's mouth. I know that the enemies outside the city have not launched another attack, but have been fighting for equipment.
Lin Zimo, standing on the wall, the result of the review was the same as what Zhao Wenxuan said. My heart is not happy but worried. He believes that the enemy outside the city is waiting for backup troops. If the enemy gathers more and more, then the strategy of himself and Zhao Wenxuan is likely to wait for death. Although Zhao Wenxuan has sent people to ask for reinforcements, a large number of officers and soldiers will not be able to come for a while. Lin Zimo really doesn't know how many of them can last?
A loud noise interrupted Lin Zimo's thinking. He turned his head and saw that Wang Qiang led a group of people and found two cannons and more than ten shells from there. Lin Zimo, who stepped forward, took a closer look at this kind of earth cannon and thought that as long as they did not explode, after all, it is better than nothing. As for their range and power, it is not within their own consideration. Even if it is just killing or injuring a person is to weaken the enemy's strength.
"In this case, the main attack direction of the rebels should be our side." Zhao Wenxuan, who walked in front of Lin Zimo, said seriously, "I want to transfer 20 people from Wang Pengfei to assist in defense and relieve the pressure on our side a little. After all, there are more than 160 people on his side."
"If you think it's appropriate to do this, then do what you want." Lin Zimo said with considerable respect for his opinion.
After the two had further communication, he sent Wang Qiang to take himself and Zhao Wenxuan's order to Wang Pengfei's side to transfer people. Before long, Wang Qiang led Chu Dalang and 20 others back to the north of the city. After Zhao Wenxuan's adjustment and arrangement, Chu Dalang and others were assigned to the left and right corners.
After a peaceful night, the rebels outside the city did not take the initiative to attack them. When the sky was bright, Lin Zimo, who was still sleeping, was woken up by Chu Erlang. Lin Zimo, who did not dare to delay at all, hurriedly followed him out of the tower, looked not far outside the city, and found that the original enemy had increased a lot.
Zhao Wenxuan, who was on shift duty, approached Lin Zimo and said, "In my opinion, there should be about 3,000 enemies outside the city."
Lin Zimo, who heard this number, really felt that death had quietly come. Overnight, three or five hundred enemies suddenly became three thousand, and the number of rebels was almost ten times that of their own side. Whether they attack the city or invade the land, they already have enough capital and strength.
Yesterday, Lin Zimo had seen the tentative attack of the rebels and found that they were not a mob, but a team with a certain combat effectiveness. If he fights a war of attrition with them, then he will only have one way to destroy the city and die. Lin Zimo had the idea of escaping, but it didn't work at all. If he dies in the battlefield without a foundation and has nothing to do with himself, the court will not only not pursue his family, but also be compensated. If the city is lost and he is still alive, I'm afraid he will be investigated by the court afterwards, and his family will not have a good end.
Lin Zimo, who was already enlightened, observed everyone and found that there was obvious fear in their expression. After all, a large area of enemies outside the city almost cut off their chances of survival. Although it is a death, there is still a big difference between standing and kneeling.
"It's a blessing, not a curse, it's a misfortune that can't be avoided." Lin Zimo, who gathered the crowd together, remembered the situation of the decisive battle of the Hollywood war in the United States and wanted to infect them with his emotions: "How many rebels have come, and you have seen it, so I don't need to say more. If we stick to it, there will still be a glimmer of life. After all, the reinforcements are on the way to Pingnan County. If we give up because of fear, then you and your respective families will be slaughtered by them. For the survival hope of us and our family, we would rather die than retreat.
After delivering the speech, I really don't know if the officers and soldiers are reinforcement here. However, Lin Zimo knew that he could only tell lies in the truth. He wants to give them the motivation to fight and give them hope to live. If they feel nothing, they will be completely finished, and what they are most afraid of is that they will lose courage.
Although Zhao Wenxuan is a sensible person, he admires Lin Zimo from the bottom of his heart. His worship of him is like a torrential river, which is endless. In the current situation, Zhao Wenxuan saw Lin Zimo, who was born as a scholar, but was not timid, and could also boost morale. And I can never say that touching thing.
Lin Zimo pulled out his sword and said impassionedly, "If you see me take a step back, everyone can kill me. And if anyone dares to take a step back, don't blame me for not talking about the friendship of fellow villagers. In addition to killing the enemy, the three-foot sword in my hand will cut off those who want to escape.
At this moment, even Zhao Wenxuan was moved, so he took the lead in roaring. His sergeants saw that his leaders had done that, so they followed him and shouted. The rest of the people were soon infected and shouted hard. Their voices were so loud that even the enemy leaders outside the city could hear them clearly.
......
Zhang Chi, who knew the exact news, made a hasty decision to escape. He thinks this is a truth that fools understand. After all, 300 people can never beat 3,000 people. According to the news he sent several family members to return, the rebels only appeared in the north of Pingnan County, and there was no enemy in the south of the city.
Zhang Chi, who has made up his mind, wants to take his family to escape again. In his heart, the life and death of the people in the city have nothing to do with himself. I have always regarded them as a straw, so I don't have a trace of guilt at all. At present, he thought about how to escape from Pingnan County as soon as possible, and he was afraid that he would not be out if he was one step late.
Zhang Chi's family, which had been ready for a long time, set out from the county government gate and ran directly to the south gate of Pingnan County under his leadership. He also doesn't care about his decentness and knows that living is the top priority. And these dozens of people are on their way like homeless dogs. When Zhang Chi and others came to the south gate, they found that the gate was closed.
Zhang Chi, who climbed out of the carriage, also put on the official prestige of the county magistrate and said, "Open the door for me quickly."
The four people standing next to the gate looked at him contemptuously, without any action or a reply.
Zhang Chi, who was in a hurry, shouted at them, "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"
One of the four led by slowly stretched out and said weakly, "I heard it. Without the order of the king, we dare not open the gate for you.
"What is Wang Pengfei? He is both tasteless and levelless, and I am your magistrate." Zhang Chi said angrily, "I order you to open the gate for me quickly. It has delayed my business and wants your heads."
"County master, you don't think you're going to move rescue troops again, are you?" A tall doorman said with irony in his voice.
Zhang Chi's face was blue and white for a while, and he didn't want to waste time. He gave a winking at his housekeeper and several family. With a knife in their hands, they couldn't help but cut directly at the four people looking at the gate. After a few screams, Zhang Chi's housekeeper quickly took his family to forcibly open the gate.
Zhang Chi spit on the ground and said viciously, "If you are against me, you are looking for death."
After saying that, he turned around and was helped by a family member to get into the carriage. By the time Wang Pengfei got the news, Zhang Chi and others had already rushed out of Pingnan County and fled. As he walked down the city, he looked at the four bodies lying on the ground, and his teeth were itchy. Wang Pengfei was soberly aware that he could not lose big because of small, so he quickly ordered people to close the south gate.
"Are we going to let that dog officer go like this?" A catcher standing next to Wang Pengfei said angrily, "These are four lives, and the brothers who usually want to get along with us are still dead."
The helpless Wang Pengfei had to smile bitterly and said, "We have the right to write down this bloody account for the dog officer, and Rong will have a chance to find him to figure it out in the future. The most urgent thing is to stick to this place, but we can't give the rebels a chance to take advantage of it.
"Bah, it's really too cheap for the whole family." The heart is extremely unhappy, showing very helplessness.
Wang Pengfei carried the four bodies away while sending someone to Lin Zimo to report. In his heart, he really wanted to chop Zhang Chi, a bastard, into meat sauce and feed it to the dog. Lin Zimo, who received the news of Zhang Chi's escape, regretted not killing him at the beginning, otherwise he would not have killed four people.
